Acne, mostly known for their jeans brand, also have an amazing creative studio: Acne Art Department.
Rich Lyons from DesignStudio just informed me they just finished designing the 4th issue of the fashion and photography magazine Centerfold:
We have recently completed the 4th issue of fashion and photography magazine Centrefold, working alongside photographers from Webber Represents, photographer and Editor Andrew G. Hobbs and Guest Editor Georgina Hodson. The work of the 7 selected photographers including Alexandra Catiere, Alan Clarke, Thomas Brown and Tim Simmons was combined with design by us, print production by G&B Printers and paper supplied by GF Smith. This collaboration has created a 64 page publication limited to an edition of 1,000 copies.
Traditionally Centrefold has always taken full advantage of full bleed photography at a large scale to truly exhibit the images. The heritage of the magazine is retained here by keeping it as a loose-leaf publication and reintroducing the dynamic crops of previous issues through the use of folds. By using the folds to create section dividers which contain the titles and credits, we have allowed for an uninterrupted flow of imagery from cover to cover.
New York, NY — Brant Publications have announced that creative direction for Interview will now be handled by the highly regarded art direction and graphic design firm, M/M Paris.
Founded by Mathias Augustyniak and Michael Amzalag in 1992, M/M Paris is widely considered one of the most innovative and creative design firms in the world. They have been the force behind ground-breaking fashion campaigns for Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, Jil Sander, Stella McCartney, and many others, along with numerous prominent video and theatrical projects. M/M Paris will begin work on the April issue of Interview.
Today the duo said, “Since 1992, we have been working across many cultural lines. Conversations are at the center of our practice; which involves collaborations with people of talent such as musicians, writers, fashion designers and editors, artists and photographers.”
“For us, it is a fantastic opportunity to join the team at Interview led by Glenn O’Brien, and to develop together this landmark of American culture. Interview is about letting the reader hear the voices of the great personalities of today and share in their points of view. We will try to make this process as clear and passionate as possible.”
Glenn O’Brien, Brant Editorial Director, said, “I am thrilled that M/M has joined us at Interview. They are the most innovative designers working in magazines today. They have one foot in fashion, and one in fine art, and they work at the highest level in both worlds.” Interview’s Editor-in-Chief Christopher Bollen said, “I’m a fan of their work for Paris Vogue and Purple Fashion, and the work they’ve done for clients like Calvin Klein and Balenciaga really takes commercial art to another level. I am very honored that they have joined the team.”
Founded by Andy Warhol in 1969, Interview is published eleven times each year and captures the conversation between the top individuals in art, entertainment and fashion.
